For anyone who wants a boost to their general health. The suggested goals are:

EAT 10 PORTIONS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY - if you don't usually eat much fruit and veg I would build up gradually or you could upset your digestion.

DO (AT LEAST) 10 MINUTES OF EXERCISE EVERY DAY - can be yoga, stretching or something more energetic. The plan is that the idea of doing 10 minutes is not too daunting, and having started you may well find you want to do more.

There are no restrictions on what you eat so long as you get your 10 fruit and veg as well. The focus is not on weight loss but on improving our energy levels and hopefully our general mood and well-being. Sign up below and post here to tell us how you're getting on and how you are feeling.

Basic guidance on what constitutes a portion of fruit and veg here and you can download more detailed information by following the link at the very bottom of the page

What shall we do with the drunken vegger?

TigerFeet · 19/08/2009 12:18

Come back 'ere with that there nectarine

You seem determined to make me run today

Boco · 19/08/2009 12:49

You can't run on a raft TF. In fact, you need to come and sit right in the middle, you're making us list slightly.

TigerFeet · 19/08/2009 13:15

I do have centre of gravity ishoos atm, it's true.

Give me a nectarine and I'll sit in the middle.

Blah blah blah

Franny's here

ABitWrong · 19/08/2009 19:49

hello

ABitWrong · 19/08/2009 19:51

Some rather wildish plums that I discovered for the first time today despite living here for over 8 years.

ThePinkOne · 19/08/2009 20:20

I've only discovered this year that we have 3 cherry trees in our garden!

Hi TooT

ABitWrong · 19/08/2009 20:43

Hello Pink.

In your garden? How can you miss treesin your garden? Three of them?!

Who is the blueberry person?

ThePinkOne · 19/08/2009 20:55

The spotty one is my RL friend who I told about mn then recognised her from a post so I fessed up! We've just both admitted to namechanging today so she came and found my new name (I don't mind her snooping cause she made us such a fab lunch! And didn't mind when DS ate loads of it )

I knew the 3 trees were there I just hadn't noticed cherries before! Maybe the birds always got them first

ABitWrong · 19/08/2009 21:06

Oh I see

chichichien · 19/08/2009 21:16

The schools are back. I can aim for 10 again and have some hopr of achieving. The joy.

SuperBunny · 20/08/2009 09:35

Ooo, you had fun while I went away.

ABitWrong · 20/08/2009 09:41

Fun? FUN??

We were shipwrecked and then Boco wouldn't let me stroke her beard.

TigerFeet · 20/08/2009 10:12

Today I am mostly eating nectarines [groundhog day]

Franny! I was thinking of you a couple of days ago. I have been stroking Fluffles

TigerFeet · 20/08/2009 10:13

Oh god that sounds a bit rude doesn't it? I meant fluffles nappies. I remembered Franny stroking her fluffles. Erm... perhaps I should stop now...

ABitWrong · 20/08/2009 13:05

Tiger, can I stroke your fluffles?

Boco · 20/08/2009 13:11

LOLOL at those posts one after the other - first Toot is trying to stroke my beard, then TF is thinking of franny while stroking her fluffles. Maybe too many vegetables give you hairy palms.

Franny you've been on that jam thread for too long, it's time to come back now. [stern]

OsmosisBanana · 20/08/2009 16:53

Hello OB
